I love DS9, but it’s a show that works best if it is placed in opposition to something. You can’t get the lows of In The Pale Moonlight without the highs of All Good Things, or any random episode of TNG where things work out in the end and everyone holds to their principles.
Discovery needs a noblebright counterpart,…
But then Voyager would only be its first season...and nobody would want that.
I am going to go fucking bonkers and say that in Star Trek’s case, they aren’t stuck to the ground...they’re stuck to the artificial gravity plating. Clearly the tech can affect them, because they aren’t floating around or thrown out of the ship when it starts moving. Maybe the plates are right under the deck, and…
I had no idea she was on SNL! Neat!
Or the one where one of the crew members is out of phase.
I was taken aback by how JJ Abrams ST:D’s first two eps felt. But the third episode was sufficiently interesting and science fiction-y for me to keep going.
Honestly, I hope both grow and are successful. But if I asked myself which one is holding up the ideals of an optimistic vision of the future, something I…
The problem with Orville is that every episode is going to have a “It’s just like that Star Trek episode where-” because TOS, TNG, Voyager, and some of Enterprise pretty much covered the ground where Orville is boldly going.
Maybe it’s the ship itself, and the rarity being that it was one of the few vessels of its class/era that disappeared without a trace? Who knows what Dark Matter does to debris in this universe? The aliens could be humanophiles who like vintage aesthetics for all we know.
oh god I’m defending Orville send help
Future’s End had its own special guest love interest in Sarah Silverman, though it was before she was famous.
Do people think that automation is going to get MORE expensive somehow? All the hangwringing about robotic burger flippers would be happening in any kind of developed economy. If you can’t have people who are literal to almost slaves, then robots will start look appealing.
Plus robots can’t unionize, which is a big…
Maybe I’m high, but one of the worlds she visits I’m pretty sure was the one from The Menagerie.
At least Steiner can cut a promo by himself. They’re nonsensical, but he has charisma. Brock on the mic is a fucking Ambien, and not even Paul Heyman can paste over his lack of performance anymore.
Jon Stewart went on Larry King and made fun of the fact that he was being replaced by a guy from Britain nobody had ever heard of...and then was replaced by a guy from South Africa that nobody had ever heard of. I gave Noah’s program a few weeks, but it was way too smug for me to take.
You’re not wrong. There was definitely a tint of resignation in the last bit of his tenure. Dude deserves his retirement, no question. I’m just being nostalgic in the wake of the other folks in this time slot.
I think I took for granted how great the combo of Stewart and Colbert was. Seeing other people try to fill their shoes just makes me feel hollow inside.
While someone else gets fucked, no less.
Without him on the show I quickly lost interest. Nucky’s travails just weren’t that interesting.
Adrienne Palicki as Big Barda? Can I leave this universe and go to that one?
Why have coherent story ideas when you can have PROPER NOUNS?
